AirAsia’s great deals before new airport tax kicks in

Malaysian Airports will implement a new airport tax schedule from 1st January 2017, that seeks to equalise the taxes paid by passengers through different types of airports. As part of the layered rationalisation announced recently, fees at the Low Cost Carrier Terminal in Kuala Lumpur – KLIA2 will rise the most with upward movements of all fees, although rises at other airports have been by a smaller amount or reduced, as in the case of charges on passengers departing for ASEAN destinations.

AirAsia has been quick to raise concerns with the quantum of the rise, but has also responded by announcing an offer of free seats (pay only the taxes and fees). Promotionalall-in, one-way fares are available from MYR 9.54 before the new airport tax is added to all tickets purchased from 1st January 2017.
